the spot above the centre of the earthquake is called the epicentre.
This is known as an earthquake's epicenter

The focus of an earthquake is the point along a fault at which the first motion of an earthquake occurs.The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's starting point, or focus.
It is the epicentre of the earthquake on the earth's surface.
You have confused the term epicentre with hypocentre (or focus), whereby the focus is the point within the earth where the earthquake rupture occurs and the epicentre is the point on the surface directly above this.
The point within the earth where the earthquake occurs is known as the focus or hypocentre. The point directly above this on the earth's surface is known as the epicentre.
The point on Earth's surface directly above the place where an earthquake originates is known as an epicenter.

Answer by FutureLPGAgolferEpicenter - point on Earth's surface above point where seismic waves originate.the starting place of an earthquake big feeling
Earthquakes occur underground and are felt on the surface. The center of an earthquake on the surface is called the epicenter, and the center of the earthquake underground, where it occurs, is called the hypocenter or focus.
Nothing (well the atmosphere and then outer space)! As the epicentre of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above the focus or hypocentre (which is the place in the Earth where the rupture / fault movement that causes the earthquake occurs).
the epicenter , this is the correct answer!
